Olympic champion in training? Rebecca Adlington's newborn makes a splash in the pool

The gold medal winner couldn't be happier with her "water baby" but was anxious to be in a swimming costume again

We already knew Rebecca Adlington wanted her newborn daughter Summer to follow in the family trade, we just didn’t expect it to be quite so soon.

But the six-week-old has already showed signs of being a chip off the old block as she aced her first swimming lesson.

The Olympic swimmer introduced Summer to the pool when she was three-and-a-half weeks-old in the hopes of making her a “water baby” and boy, did she not disappoint. In fact she took to the water like, well like a pro!

In a video shared on You Tube, there was barely a murmur from Summer as she relaxed in the pool and clutched her very proud mum’s chest.

Following up the lesson Rebecca also shared her first mother and daughter pool pic, bless!
